O best among those performing austerities, where did you get this wonderfulbeauty that dismantles the austerities performed by others? Where have youlearned this art? What austerity have you undergone to achieve this beauty, mydear friend? I desire that you join me to perform austerity and penance, for itmay be that the creator of the universe, Lord Brahmä, being pleased with me,has sent you to become my wife.Agnidhra appreciated the wonderful beauty of Purvacitti. Indeed, he wassurprised to see such exceptional beauty, which must have been the result ofpast austerities and penances. He therefore asked the girl whether she hadachieved such beauty just to break the penances and austerities of others. Hethought that Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, might have beenpleased with him and might therefore have sent her to become his wife.

My mind is already restless, and by playing with a ball, moving it all aboutwith your lotuslike palm, you are also agitating my eyes. Your curling black hairis now scattered, but you are not attentive to arranging it. Are you not going toarrange it? Like a man attached to women, the most cunning wind is trying totake off your lower garment. Are you not mindful of it?The girl Purvacitti was playing with a ball in her hand, and the ball seemedlike nothing but another lotus flower captured by her lotuslike palm. Becauseof her movements, her hair was loose, and the belt holding her cloth was givingway, as if the cunning wind were trying to make her naked. Yet she paid noattention to arranging her hair or fixing her dress. As Agnidhra tried to seethe girl's naked beauty, his eyes were very agitated by her movements.

My dear friend, what do you eat to maintain your body? Because you arechewing betel, a pleasing scent is emanating from your mouth. This proves thatyou always eat the remnants of food offered to Vishnu. Indeed, you must also bean expansion of Lord Vishnu's body. Your face is as beautiful as a pleasing lake.Your jeweled earrings resemble two brilliant sharks with unblinking eyes likethose of Vishnu, and your own eyes resemble two restless fish. Simultaneously,therefore, two sharks and two restless fish are swimming in the lake of yourface. Besides them, the white rows of your teeth seem like rows of verybeautiful swans in the water, and your scattered hair resembles swarms ofbumblebees following the beauty of your face.The devotees of Lord Vishnu are also His expansions. They are calledvibhinnamsa. Lord Vishnu is offered all kinds of sacrificial ingredients, andbecause devotees always eat prasadam, the remnants of His food, the scent ofsacrificial ingredients emanates not only from…

O best friend, will you kindly show me the place where you reside? I cannotimagine how the residents of that place have gotten such wonderful bodilyfeatures as your raised breasts, which agitate the mind and eyes of a person likeme who sees them. Judging by the sweet speech and kind smiles of thoseresidents, I think that their mouths must contain nectar.Still bewildered, Agnidhra wanted to see the place from which thebrähmaëa boy had come, where the men had such raised breasts. Suchattractive features, he thought, must be due to the severe austerities performedthere. Agnidhra addressed the girl as suhåttama, the best friend, so that shewould not refuse to take him there. Not only was Agnidhra captivated by thegirl's raised breasts; he was also attracted by her sweet speech. Nectar seemedto emanate from her mouth, and therefore he was increasingly surprised.Continues...

Agnidhra then praised Purvacitti's raised breasts. He said: My dearbrahmana your waist is very thin, yet with great difficulty you are carefullycarrying two horns, to which my eyes have become attracted. What is fillingthose two beautiful horns? You seem to have spread fragrant red powder uponthem, powder that is like the rising morning sun. O most fortunate one, I beg toinquire where you have gotten this fragrant powder that is perfuming myasrama, my place of residence.Agnidhra appreciated Purvacitti's raised breasts. After seeing the girl'sbreasts, he became almost mad. Nevertheless, he could not recognize whetherPurvacitti was a boy or a girl, for as a result of his austerity, he saw nodistinction between the two.

Because the boy's waist was thin, Agnidhra thought, he was carrying thehorns with great difficulty. and therefore they mu…
